Honoring God With Your Substance

Honoring God With Your Substance

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Do you know how to honour God with your substance? It’s never too early to learn some things in life. Why do I say this? Every lesson we have learned from the book of Proverbs was written by King Solomon to his son!

He wrote to us little children, so that when we become adults, it will be easy for us to do things as God’s children.

Let’s see today’s focus verse!

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. —Proverbs 3:9-10(KJV)

All of God’s instructions to us, is accompanied with a reward if we are obedient.

The Bible is teaching us as little children to Honour God, not just with our words, and in our hearts, but also with our substance and the first fruit of our increase!
What does it mean to honour God with our substance?

Our substance is whatever we have. In this age the equivalent of our substance is money.

As children of God, we should learn to honour God with every token given to us by our parents.

It’s not too early to set aside your offerings from what Mummy and Daddy gives you.

When you get a token during the holidays from grandparents, uncles and aunties, learn to set aside what you will use to honour God.

The bible also says you should honour God with the first fruit of your increase.

It’s not too early for you to learn how to give a tenth to God. That’s another way of honouring God!

What does the Bible promise if we do this?

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. —Proverbs 3:10(KJV)

There will be blessings everywhere, for you and your parents, because they gave you what you are using to honour God.

Remember Abraham, he wasn’t the only blessed one, the people around him were blessed too because of him. That can be you, and everyone around you can be blessed because of you.

Prayer:
Teach me to honour you at all times oh Lord. Amen

Action point:
Set aside part of what you earn to honour God. Ask your parents to help you.

Declaration:
I choose to honour God.

This message on firstfruits was taught on the 7th of February 2021 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan.

16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. 20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 8:16-22, KJV

Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

Proverbs 3:9, KJV

30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.

Ezekiel 44:30, KJV
  • Things that have to do with money are spiritual. Money is spiritual. Every man whether African, Asian, European, etc is spiritual… They obey something.
  • Altars are places where the realm of the spirit has control over the physical
  • Altars are places where of spiritual authorization.

THE BLESSINGS THAT COMES WITH SACRIFICE OF FIRSTFRUITS

1. The blessing of exemption.

  • You are set apart from every other person; the things that affect them, problems, crisis etc. when you give firstfruits
  • It enlists the involvement of God.
  • You need the involvement of God in every sphere of your life.
  • No one can predict the next change in the economy, environment and all – When God is involved, He makes His power available to you. When God’s power I released you will make profits, you will make heavenly decisions.

2. The blessing of honour. Num 27:20,1Sam2:30

  • Honour is supernatural recognition it makes a man noticeable. Honour is appreciation and celebration. Honour creates a supernatural influence around the person. When God honour you, kings will bow to you.
  • Firstfruits cause the blessing rests upon your house
  • My own will come to me. My blessings cannot hang. Amos 9:13
  • The things of the spirit is not creative but obedience…
